easy and amazing loaded brownies

I think it was probably five years ago that I discovered that making brownies from scratch was just as easy as making them from a box. Easier, really, because I didn't have to go to the store and let's all be honest: if you don't have to go to the store, you're already winning.

These brownies are so quick and easy and delicious, but here's the beauty - it's a small batch. Obviously you can double or triple them if you need to feed the masses, but nobody needs extra brownies laying around, amiright? Now don't read "small batch" as "light". Because these are by no means a health food. But when you need a chocolate fix, or you have the urge to bake, or both, these are your new best friend.

These are the richest, fudgiest, BEST brownies of life.

Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes, until a knife comes out clean. Allow to cool for a bit, then cut and serve!
